Hey, thanks for the reviews. They encourage me.

Peter was about to scream again, but the boy reached out and touched his shoulder. Somehow, this calmed him.

"Hi," came the small voice.

Peter grinned. "Hi."

He wasn't alone anymore.

A couple of weeks passed. Seth refused to talk to anyone. He spent all his time locked up in his room, only coming down to get something to eat. He didn't know what to do. If he told anyone about Zoe, he would be betraying her. Zoe was getting thinner, but Mrs. Plummer just thought everything was alright. She didn't know that Zoe hadn't eaten hardly anything for the last couple of weeks. Lulu was quiet, Peter was talking all the time about his new friend, Bobby.

Zoe took them to school again, that morning. They were late. Again. And after they got chewed out by Mr. Murney, things started to change.

After recess, Lulu walked up to her teacher.

"Mrs. Mullines," she asked quietly. "Can I talk to you outside."

"Why of course," said Mrs. Mullines.

"Mrs. Mullines," Lulu said, sighing deeply. "I need to tell you something."

That was the same day Seth made his decision.

"Shane," he told his wrestling teacher. "I'm worried about Zoe."

"Why?" Shane asked.

"Shane," he said, quietly. "She has eaten practically nothing in the last two weeks. She's getting thinner and thinner, and you can see her cheek bones now. I think she's bulimic."

"Why didn't you tell anybody?" Shane demanded.

"I didn't want her to get mad at me," was his soft reply.

"Where is she now?" Shane roared.

"I don't know," he said. "I think she's in math."

"Idiot boy!" Shane yelled, and ran off to find Zoe, before something dangerous happened.

Zoe was in the girl's room, breathing quietly, her heartbeat rate increasing. She looked into the mirror.

For the last two weeks, everytime she looked at herself in the mirror, she had seen herself as fat. Disgusting.

But, the hunger pangs were hitting her sharp now. But she wouldn't eat. No! Did she want to gain everything she had just lost?

"I'm ok," she said out loud, as if to reassure herself. "I'm going to be okay. I'm just going to lose a little bit more, and I'll be okay. I'm alright."

She was feeling weak in the knees, and then, before she knew it, she passed out.

Seth looked sadly at the ground. He'd done the right thing. Hadn't he?

With a sigh, he turned around, right into Robert Heasen.

"Hey Creeper," he called. And then, he took his fist and punched Seth in the face.

Seth collapsed, his world going black even before he hit the floor.

I'm sorry. That was really short. But I'll try to write more the next chapter eh? Writer's block still bugging me.
